                        Thursday, April 21, 2005

  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my 
constituent Quincy Bock of Senior Troop #1107 as she receives the honor 
of a Gold Award from the Girl Scouts.
  The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that a Girl Scout may 
earn. It is not an honor given lightly. The young women who receive 
this award must demonstrate leadership skills, organizational skills, 
and sense of community and commitment. Quincy Bock exhibited all these 
skills with her Gold Award Project, a Resource for Refugees, for The 
Nile Sisters, a non-profit organization that helps refugee families 
become self-reliant through education and support.
  Quincy successfully created three databases and produced two pieces 
of literature for The Nile Sisters to use in helping refugee families. 
The databases Quincy designed and the training she gave the 
organization will greatly increase the organization's efficiency. In 
addition, the pamphlet she created has already generated a number of 
donations and offers of assistance. Because of Quincy's direct 
contribution, The Nile Sisters will be able to better serve refugee 
families seeking a better life here in America.
  I am proud to recognize Quincy Bock's achievements. She is a shining 
example of the promise of the next generation. She has already set what 
I hope is the foundation for a lifetime of active citizenship. I 
congratulate Quincy and her family on this momentous occasion.
